Summary
This week on Barb Knows Best, Barb and Michelle dive into a practice that is transformative for them, especially during life’s toughest moments: gratitude. It’s easy to get caught up in striving for more or waiting for the “next big thing,” but the true magic lies in appreciating the here and now.
Gratitude isn’t just a fleeting feeling, but rather a way of life. It anchors us during hardships, reminding us of the beauty and blessings we often overlook. In this episode, they explore why adopting a grateful spirit is an essential practice, even when life feels challenging, and how it can bring resilience, joy, and a sense of abundance to your life.
